@virgil It's possibly a logarithmic scale!

[Chris B.]

Should have the Tall Blacks in there as well. They beat Canada pretty comfortably in the round robin, but they're probably less likely than the men's hockey team of tipping over the Aussies.

Surely those yellow fucks won't sweep us 6-0???!!!

I should take a multi for insurance!!!

Black Ferns looked great in their first two pool matches, but have to say, Kenya and South Africa were both rubbish. (Especially SA.) Whereas Aussie thumped England.

On a side note, Dame Val's baby girl is SUPER cute. And clearly chilled with big crowds. Guess the next question is if Val wants to keep going to Tokyo, or if she's had enough. Will only get harder to juggle kid and training.

Nice, a bit of sarcasm from our AB captain.

[Chris B.]

Watching the Women's road race - it's super relaxing because the commentators have already confirmed the result - the Great Australians are the strongest and fastest and bestest.

Apparently there's a small element of doubt whether they can make it 1,2,3. Someone else from the Commonwealth might not be totally useless.

Someone needs to kick that chirpy woman's arse!

[Chris B.]

...and the Great Australians win - but, we get a silver and fourth. Wales the bronze.

Seems like we didn't really do much in that race. We just had a plan to get silver as Williams wasn't going to beat the aussie for gold.
